(22 'He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow; "then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have 24 required it with interest?

And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called the mount of (30) Olives, he sent two of the disciples, "saying, Go your way into the village over against you; in the which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: (31 loose him, and bring him. "And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath 32 need of him. "And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.

"And some of the Pharisees from, the multitude said unto him, Master, re(40 buke thy disciples. "And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over (42) it, "saying, 'If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. "For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 "and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy

And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the 2) scribes with the elders; "and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? (3) or who is he that gave thee this authority? "And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a 1ques4 tion; and tell me: "The baptism of John, was it from (5) heaven, or from men?

(9) And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time. the season he sent unto the husbandmen a 2 servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the 11) husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. "And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty. "And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast (13) him forth. "And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him. "But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir : 15 let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. "And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto 16 them? "He will come and destroy these husbandmen,

And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people for they perceived that he spake this parable (20 against them. "And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to (21 the rule and to the authority of the governor. "And they asked him, saying, 2 Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but 22 of a truth teachest the way of God: "Is it lawful for us (23 to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not? "But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, "Shew me a 3 penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they

27

And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked 28) him, "saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

"But that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, 38 and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his (46 disciples, "Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts; 47 "which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
